You guys may want to take a look at what the hunters in this state are doing RIGHT NOW, before you start fragmenting groups any more than they already are. Washingtonians For Wildlife Conservation is a political action group that takes on anti-hunters either in court or in the legislature. The group has one goal, raise $ to fight the battle! LEGAL BATTLE!!Individuals and groups can become members, and groups have a WWC rep come in at their meetings and raise funds. WWC also has their own fund raising meetings. The group is just forming, but have been received very well by all types of hunting groups that are almost as diverse as fishing groups. Until fishermen take note of HOW to do this, and figure out what battle is worth fighting, we will be a big mess. The issue is NOT the closures. The issue is NOT the nets! These are simply the outcome of the PROBLEM. The problem is our STATE LAW and until we get that changed, things will only get worse. Maybe we should stop trying to put bandaids on all the bleeders and get down to business. The commision was right. They can't take economics into account in the way that we would like them to. British Columbia had the same issue. They got it together and CHANGED THE LAW. Last time I checked the people have the power to do that. Go ahead and toss some rocks at me for posting this! That does not change the fact that we are worse off now than we were 20 years ago and the downward spiral is STILL happening. Take a look at what you are trying to fix. Is it the problem or is it the result of a larger problem. Hunters are getting it together. I am one of them. Hope you guys can put aside your issues long enough to just take a look at this. It will change things for hunting. Do you really want to change things for fishing?
